Everyone give a warm welcome back to this super cool offbeat SB-350! Refin'd a ways back in a classic Gibson cherry, it has faded to a Gretsch Orange! Let us be clear- best of our knowledge and previous owners say this one was refin'd, but a long time ago and yes in a factory Cherry finish!
Aside from the brass pickup surrounds, the rest of the bass is original and in phenomenal playing shape. We love the electronics section with individual pickup on/off controls, and the simple and usual Volume and Tone controls. The Mini-Humbuckers along with the alder body create a little less mud than the EB series, and while it doesn't have that distinctive EB tone- we find the SB to be significantly more flexible.
Very Good condition, includes hardshell case.
